The Urswick School

Service details

Who are we? 

The Urswick School is a Church of England Voluntary Aided School for girls and boys aged 11-19 years. It has a specialism as a Sports and Science College.

Faith schools can be different kinds of schools but are associated with a particular religion.

Faith schools are mostly run like other state schools. They have to follow the national curriculum except for religious studies.

The admissions criteria and staffing policies may be different too, although anyone can apply for a place.


School Admissions for pupils with SEND 

For more information on secondary admissions and supplementary admissions forms see the schools own website or Hackney Education's Secondary Schools Admissions Information.

The timescale and process for starting secondary school for children with an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHC Plan) are different from the process for children without a plan. At the start of Year 6 you will be sent a preference form to list the schools you would prefer your child to attend.

If you wish to transfer your child to school at any other time of the school year, please discuss this with the your child's headteacher and then contact the SEND Business Support Team to be given information about in-year transfer.


Where can I find this schools information about extra help in school for children and young people who have additional needs?

The government has made it the law that schools and academies need to provide information about support for children with additional needs. This information is called the School SEN Information Report. 

SEN Information Reports (SEN means Special Educational Needs) are intended to tell you the practical day to day approach taken within each individual school. They should be written in a way that is helpful, clear and meaningful for parents.

The schools website will list Usrswick School's SEN Information Report or you can ask the school for a printed copy. 

You can also find more information in the following Hackney Local Offer articles:
